Scotland's greenhouse gas emissions were 41.6 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) in 2021, up 2.5 percent from 2020. Despite this increase, Scotland GHG emissions remain below pre-pandemic level. GHG emissions in Scotland have roughly halved since 1990. These reductions are mainly attributable to the considerable drop in Scotland's energy supply emissions over the last three decades.
